This study reveals the importance of objective narration in the very short story, as this narrative genre represents a powerful artistic tool that enables the writer to convey profound ideas and complex emotions within condensed texts. Through an analysis of Ahmed Alward's collection "Pulse of Absence," it is demonstrated how objective narration contributes to creating a rich literary experience based on the interaction between characters, time, and place, while leaving ample room for the reader's interpretation. This narrative genre reflects the flexibility of contemporary literature in the face of the challenges of the digital age and confirms that the very short story is not merely a brief text, but rather a complete world that carries within it profound human visions.
